That sounds like subcircuits 
(http://ktechlab.org/documentation/subcircuits.php), but with LEDs and 
buttons instead of connections formed by the "External Connection" 
components. Sounds like an interesting idea....

There is also "manual connection routing" available 
(http://ktechlab.org/documentation/connecting_components.php) to allow manual 
control over positioning of connections. Or do you mean the ability to move 
wires about in addition to this?

What do you think of the attached image?

Cool.
